Valentine's Day

This Valentine's Day I wanted to start a new tradition. Every November we do the Thankful Tree and now on Valentine's I want to do hearts with reasons we love each other. Lately, I feel like we are struggling to love one another and fill our home with love instead of contention. Especially between Isabelle and Ella. Sheesh. Those two. Anyway...I didn't take any pictures, but we had hearts taped up all over our kitchen/dining room wall with reasons we loved each other. Here is a list from the hearts that survived through the month...which is most of them.

Isabelle: I love Emery because she helps me.
Emery: I love that Isabelle plays with me.
